    Way too fun

    I had a giant smile plastered on my face basically the entire time I was watching this. It's been a while since I've watched a show that was just a whole ton of fun, and I loved it! Usually I reserve spots at 9 or 10 stars for shows that are amazing in every department and especially story, but this shows lack of emotional stuff didn't hinder it in any way shape or form. Man I just LOVED THIS SHOW! I cannot stress that enough! I though this was just going to be a run of the mill fantasy vrmmo show, and it is, but it turns the awesomeness up to 11! There aren't any characters that you dislike (it is a game, after all), the main characters are all awesome and lovable, the action is a blast, and there are some good laughs! I cannot recommend this enough, and I'm really looking forward to season 2!

    MUST WATCH!! best comedy anime so far

    This show is so underrated, i have to write a review because of that. I've never laughed so hard watching anime before. The protagonist are so adorable, cool animation and hilarious story

    Some stiff guys might complain about mmorpg logic. This is a funny anime, just enjoy the comedy

    Lighthearted, hilarious, fantasy; a good-time

    This show is definitely not perfect. Its mechanics are inconsistent (though some are very cool (like skill training on use(final fantasy II anyone?)), some lines.. are like as if the character just spent 5 minutes being the opposite of who they are, and then they say something as if to try to convince you they are this thing. And there is no way such a person would become so overpowered..

    But still, its ridiculousness is part of its charm. It's a beautiful fantasy world, and the hi-jinks the character gets into are so fun and hilarious.. I cant help but really enjoy watching this. So silly and dumb. But so cute and fun. I cant help but cheer for this lovable main character.

    I would love to just binge seasons of this show, it looks like they are past the manga? I tried finding more.

    Also, thank God, there is no smutty fan-service. Its just adorable moe goodness.

    I gave it an 9. But I love it like its a 10.

    Thank you to all who helped to bring us this wondrous, bright, fun, good-hearted and silly world.

    EDIT: Season 2 is out Yay!, the graphics seem worse (or were they sometimes that bad?) regardless. I get to binge another season as I wished. The OP protagonist is still killing it and having hardly no difficulty, making this show still a warming respite.

    One of my personal faves! Definitely funny and action packed!

    Such a cute, funny, and action-packed anime! This anime has got everything, funny characters, cute animals, and an MC so wacky its insane!

    One of my favorites!

    I love this anime so much! It's super fun to watch and the characters are amazing! It makes me with that New World Online was a real vrmmorpg! I look forward to episode 8!
